Huang Quan's military vehicle disappeared into the distance. Zhao Xiaobo furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time. Not far from her, a group of withered poor people cowered and moved towards her. Two female soldiers carrying Type-95 Rifles walked out from the shadows behind Zhao Xiaobo and stood beside him. They used their guns to monitor the hungry poor people with green eyes.
The poor people knew who was in front of them. They hesitated and did not dare to take another step forward. Zhao Xiaobo was still thinking about the purpose of Huang Quan's appearance here. Huang Quan had already told her that the lakeside area was theirs. The new force had been blocked by the three major forces when they entered. The new force was stationed by the lakeside. Through the spies' spying, the new force did not have many people. So why was it not divided up by the three major forces?
Some of the braver poor people could not wait. They bowed to the two female soldiers and went far away. They carefully felt their way to the wooden house door from the other side. When they saw that the female soldiers did not stop them, they lowered their heads and went into the house. Not long after, they came out with big and small bags. Some people carried too much, and a bag fell to the ground and opened up. A big bag full of wild vegetables spilled out. Those were things that the convoy did not want.
Seeing the wild vegetables on the ground, the eyes of the citizens who were hesitating turned green. They learned from the people in front, bowed, took a detour, and went into the house together to search crazily. In the end, the whole house disappeared into thin air. Even the walls and roof were removed.
Zhao Xiaobo came back to her senses. She looked at the poor people who were carrying the wooden planks and furniture with disgust. She turned and left. The two female soldiers beside her followed.
The three of them passed through the large and small bungalows. Under the greetings of the people on the roadside, they came to the entrance of a compound. They could not see the specific use of the compound. There were four three-storey buildings on both sides of the six-storey main building.
There was an empty field and two football goal frames.
There was a flag stand near the main building. Now, only the flagpole was left. The bright red flag was long gone.
The compound was surrounded by walls. The area was not small. Behind the main building, there were more bungalows. The field was empty, but the buildings on both sides were lively. Chatter and chatter filled the huge compound with noise. It was like the noise of school after class before the apocalypse. These noises were all female voices. From time to time, young women could be seen going in and out. It was as if they had suddenly arrived in a country of women.
The two female soldiers standing guard at the door saluted Zhao Xiaobo together. Zhao Xiaobo frowned and thought about something. Only her guards saluted her. She lowered her head and walked to the main building. She entered the building under the salute of the sentries.
The building did not have the simplicity and solemnity that was commonly seen in military camps. Instead, it was lively everywhere. There were all kinds of murals and decorations everywhere. Some of the roadside signs had been replaced with cartoon girls. Many young women in bikinis stood and laughed in the corridors, not minding that large areas of their bodies were exposed in front of others.
The female soldiers behind Zhao Xiaobo disarmed themselves after entering the building. They pulled open their lapels and carried their rifles on their backs as they lazily walked to their respective dormitories. Some women pulled them aside to ask about their gains today, but they were attracted by the gossip the female soldiers told. Suddenly, a discussion was held on the first floor. Women from all corners were attracted to listen to the love story between Zhao Xiaobo and Huang Quan.
The owner of the incident, Zhao Xiaobo, went up to the top floor. The wall of the sixth floor was broken through, forming three big rooms. The first was the living room, just at the entrance of the stairs. The walls here were all pink wallpaper. There were all kinds of Kitty curtains, sofa covers, tablecloths, and a large display cabinet. There were countless Kitty dolls with different styles and clothes. It was as if he had suddenly walked from the apocalypse into the world of Kitty. Obviously, the owner of this place was a crazy Kitty fan.
In the living room, there was a mahogany desk near the door that led to the study. The desk was filled with scrolls, and a quiet second lieutenant female officer was writing something on the desk. She was so focused that she did not notice Zhao Xiaobo walking to her desk.
"Wang Xing, is Minnie free?
I have something to report to her … "
Wang Xing looked up and saw that it was Zhao Xiaobo. She smiled and stretched her body. After looking up at the ceiling for a second or two, she said with a crisp and cheerful tone, "She's still meeting God of Zhou with her little sweetheart. She hasn't had lunch yet. I'm still worried. We don't have much snacks. According to her eating habits, it's only enough for a month. I really don't know why her figure is so good …"
"Wang Xing … I want to talk to Minnie about something important …"
Zhao Xiaobo was a little anxious. Wang Xing was very competent as Minnie's secretary. It was just that she was too talkative and did not have the self-awareness of a soldier. However, Zhao Xiaobo knew that Wang Xing was a college student who joined while escaping. Minnie liked her very much. When they arrived at the gathering place, Minnie kept her by her side as a personal secretary. After all, Wang Xing was not a soldier yet.
"Alright, alright, I got it. What big deal could it be? It's just someone trying to kill someone, someone trying to trade firearms with us, or someone who has taken a liking to our sisters and wants Minnie to agree to his pursuit …"
Wang Xing kept muttering. She got up and opened the door of the study. Just as she walked in, she turned back and said to Zhao Xiaobo,
"Look, life is so boring now. I really hope that God will drop a handsome guy who lost his memory on me. Hehe … then I'll …"
"Okay, okay, I'm talking about serious matters. You should go and report, you lovesick nun …"
After sending Wang Xing in to report, Zhao Xiaobo sat on the sofa and stared at the crystal statue of Kitty on the coffee table in a daze. She remembered that Huang Quan had completely changed into a different person. His face was fierce and his body was covered in blood. When he spoke, he had the aura of a real man. His eyes had become wild and unruly. When he looked around, there was a supercilious killing intent that despised everything. He was no longer the flashy rich young master from the military school. He had transformed into a blood warrior, a warrior who far surpassed all the men in the gathering place.
Thinking of Huang Quan's reprimand, thinking of Huang Quan's ferocious and unruly eyes, and his chiseled face, a spring feeling filled her heart. She couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheeks. However, she felt the heat of her face burning the delicate skin of her palm. The originally blurred image became clear and vivid in her mind. It was unprecedentedly vivid, as if he was standing in front of her. Every look, every strand of hair on his forehead, and every syllable he uttered flashed in her heart.
"Aiya, aiya, I was scolded by Minnie again because of you. Go in, Minnie is waiting for you. Wow, why is your face so red?
Or do you have a fever or … "
Wang Xing rushed out of the study and interrupted Zhao Xiaobo's reverie. When he saw Zhao Xiaobo's cheeks, he made a fuss. Zhao Xiaobo was embarrassed when Wang Xing saw her thinking about a man. She got up and rushed into the study as if she was escaping and slammed the door.
